History
Founded by Bill & Debbie Bauernschmidt & Kelly Bauernschmidt McCann; Billy’s Legacy Foundation was established in 2007 in honor of Billy Bauernschmidt, to celebrate his memory and dedication to what was important to him and to bring our family and friends together.
The foundation was also established as a tribute to our son, brother and friend, Billy, who tragically lost his life in a car accident in 2006.
During his short life, Billy overcame various adversities and touched many lives in many different ways. He traveled to New Orleans to help rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina. He went to Juarez, Mexico to refurbish an orphanage. Billy was then invited to attend an Outward Bound leadership challenge. Sadly, this was the last trip Billy was able to make.
In an effort to carry on Billy’s legacy, we have taken an active part in aiding in the creation of a space for young teens at Trinity Assembly of God in West Chester, PA. In June of 2008, the space was completed and dedicated as “The Summit” in Billy’s memory. This area has been utilized as a training facility for Master’s Commission students preparing for a future in mentoring young people, and will continue to exist as a youth center.
